Most of the PoC code could be done with _any_ working RPC method,
zeroc isn't central to the concept, even if it is to the implementation.

I find that throwing up a quick prototype of something tells you loads
about it's desirability/strengths/weaknesses . Not using the final platform
can be an advantage, since it ensures that you _won't_ end up evolving the
prototype into a product by accident :-)
